Location in Stromy Swift app.

So after playing around with Swift I have managed the work on 2 user stories that I wanted to achieve:

1: Make the app use the current location of the device. 2: Manipulate the label that allows the user to know where they weather info is (the name of their location)

I will be honest and I really felt that I sometimes got lucky that things worked :-) But I want to know from the Treehouse Community if I have done somethings correct.

1: Use the View Controller as the CLLocationManagerDelegate - My first instinct was that location should be its own class. but after I thought about it, it actually is its own class, its just that I have not written it. So i do comply with the MVC setup.

2: The Dictionary we use to get the current weather doesn't show the "Timezone" key. I made another dict that didn't have a key "current" so that I could access the timezone key. Is this a good way? Seemed silly to make 2 dictionary's?

So I did this

let locationDict : NSDictionary = weatherDictionary as NSDictionary
let currentWeatherDictionary: NSDictionary = weatherDictionary["currently"] as NSDictionary
